  • 02 Mar 2011

  There is always a thin line between the thing we call a conspiracy movie and its shadow, the paranoia thriller. If we could tell them apart at a glance, neither would be so effective. Is this week's Liam Neeson mystery Unknown a conspiracy movie, a paranoia thriller, or just an amnesia movie? Part of the pleasure is the way it slips and slides between these modes and asks us to guess which way it's going to go. And what of the week's other big Hollywood release, Fair Game?
